Kiana also looked regretful.
"It seems... Miss Tingyun is really dead... Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
"It's wrapped up, yes, wrapped up..."
after this.
Yu Kong then invited the train crew to participate in the Immortal Ship's [Spirit-Comforting Ritual].
This is what is known as a "funeral".
When players saw the word "funeral," they inexplicably thought of Himeko's funeral.
【Ugh... Otto, you scoundrel, give me back my little fox Tingyun! QAQ】
[Just make good comedies... why do you have to mess with my mindset, waaaaah...]
[Due to the abundance of memes and the game's exciting storyline, people have forgotten the prefix of Star Railway—Honkai!]
At this point, people finally realized what the so-called "Honkai" was all about QAQ.
[Flight attendant, I don't want to die...]
[Hey upstairs, take this!!!]
[It feels like...his death was a bit rushed, and things weren't explained clearly, so...his future is promising (serious face)]
[Tingyun smiled at you, saying nothing more (doge emoji)]
[Damn it! You upstairs, take this too!!! (Angry)]
……
While the live chat was filled with mournful comments, it also included some lighthearted, humorous ones...
After all, Tingyun was only a guiding NPC from the beginning.
Players' feelings for her are solely based on her appearance.
I don't know much about this character, nor can I feel her personal charm.
Therefore, sadness comes quickly and goes quickly.
Kiana and Keqing quickly composed themselves and swiftly moved the plot forward.
For immortal beings like those on the Immortal Boat, the matter of what happens after death has always been a distant and vague concept.
Normally, before the signs of the [Demon Yin Body] appear, the people of the Immortal Ship will be guided by the Ten Thousand Divisions to the Hall of Cause and Effect, where they will record their life experiences before returning to nothingness.
Therefore, the people of Xianzhou have long been accustomed to replacing elaborate funeral rites with brief farewells.
The only ones who value posthumous rituals are the fox clan, whose lifespans are limited.
Now, the Immortal Ship has experienced the invasion of [Illusory] 3.6, with countless Cloud Riders sacrificing their lives or falling into demonic possession. The Hall of Karma passed away before it could even collect their life stories.
Therefore, Yu Kong wanted to give the deceased a final resting place, so he planned to use the methods of the Heavenly Ship Bureau and the funeral rites of the fox people to place the deceased's belongings on the star raft, send it out of the celestial ship, and sail into the star.
At the same time, she also wanted to see Tingyun off one last time.
The game's plot that follows is rather inhumane.
It turns out... the players are supposed to collect Tingyun's relics...
The relics that Tingyun brought back were gifts she gave to her friends and rivals when she was on a diplomatic mission here.
These gifts were clearly carefully selected by Tingyun.
However, before she could send out these gifts, Tingyun finished filming.
Immediately, a deep sense of regret filled the players' hearts.
This kind of unfulfilled regret is always the easiest to touch people's hearts.
.......
Chapter 698 Xingmei: Give us an apartment!
Next, we will help Tingyun send out all the gifts she brought back that she didn't have time to give out.
First, there's Mengming, a fox-person loli from the [Never-Night] teahouse. The gift Tingyun brought her was tea seeds from another planet.
When the little girl asked, "Why didn't Sister Tingyun come in person?" Kiana felt her heart skip a beat.
She's just an NPC in a game.
But when she heard that adorable voice and looked into the other person's innocent eyes...
Kiana's little mouth pursed up.
"She has to travel far away again..."
In the end, Kiana chose the lie, subtly deceiving the adorable fox-girl.
"The Luofu catastrophe has subsided, trade has resumed at the port, and Miss Tingyun has taken on a mission from the Tianbo Bureau to travel to other worlds once again..."
"Oh...that's a shame..." The little girl lowered her head in disappointment.
Upon seeing this, Kiana simply sighed.
She felt somewhat relieved that she hadn't chosen to tell the truth.
Otherwise, how heartbroken this little girl would be.
Meanwhile, the comments section once again began to condemn "Otto the scoundrel".
Moreover, this time there were no memes or jokes.
Clearly, the storyline of sorting through the lost items resonated with many players.
The subconscious impression Tingyun left on them was no longer just that of a "pretty NPC," but rather that of a beautiful fox-woman with family and friends, living a very stable life.
A poor girl who tragically died in the disaster.
At last.
Before Xingmei was about to leave, Mengming, the little fox girl, brought her a cup of tea.
"This is a new tea drink that I made based on Sister Tingyun's suggestion, using improved varieties of Lin Yuan Chun, Yin Shan Lv, and Chao Lu Xiao Ya. It has a sweet, refreshing, and lingering flavor."
"Furthermore, I specifically chose my sister's name, calling her [E Yun Ge]."
"Since she can't enjoy this happiness, I'll treat everyone to a drink!"
……
Finally, as Xingmei was leaving, Mengming's somewhat disappointed voice drifted over: "Sister Tingyun, I really hope you can drink this cup of tea..."
Kiana: "..."
Keqing: "..."
Barrage:"……"
OK OK.
Otto the dog is acting like this, isn't he?
Damn it, he just loves to stab people in the back when they're hurt.
It's all impossible to achieve [regret].
"That darn boss... always coming up with these kinds of scenarios, ruining my good mood."
Kiana frowned, but managed to keep her composure.
After all, it was "trained" by Honkai Impact 3.
This little trick won't make her lose her little pearl.
……
Soon, Kiana controlled her character to arrive at [Golden Man Alley].
When she saw the anxious twin-tailed figure, her eyes lit up.
There is no other reason.
Because that petite figure was none other than the "Gambling King" of the Immortal Boat—the God of Mahjong.
This guy who always slacks off always makes people laugh.
"Hey, you're here~ Have you been free lately? You actually have time to wander around the Immortal Ship?"
Qingque's lively voice completely dispelled the gloom in Kiana's heart.
Xingmei: "Do you know this restaurant called Shangziwei?"
"Isn't this... the restaurant where all the old-timers gather in Jinren Alley, Changletian?" Qingque only needed a moment to recall before she remembered, and then she looked at Xingmei with a grin:
"What, are you planning to treat me to a big meal?"
Xingmei didn't agree, after all, she had a mission to complete, so she continued to inquire: "Can you introduce me to someone?"
Qingque: "It's the commercial street in Changletian! Although the crowds have thinned out recently due to the Star Core disaster."
"Foreign visitors who are new here usually stroll along Xuanye Street in Xingchahai. It's famous and lively, but if you want to know where to find good food, drinks, and fun activities, you should go to Jinren Lane. I've marked it on the map for you."
